Jacksons 1st Birthday Party

Hey Boys, 

You will come to know that your Mama LOVES birthdays and I love to decorate and go over the top for them. I just love celebrating people, I think that everyone deserves to have someone go over the top for them and let them know just how special they are. I will always be that for you boys. I will always tell you how great you are, how smart and how special. You are my world! So, in typical birthday fashion I took on too many craft projects and lost a little bit of sleep but it was all worth it! Jack we had a delightful time celebrating your birthday. We kept it simple with just family and had a blast. Here it is in pictures...

Our traditional signature board

a few little banners

I literally made these a day before the party...the theme evolved and I just had to make them!

This little chalkboard is proclaiming our theme. "you are the sunshine on rainy days", it's a song by JJ Heller that I have sung to you, Jackson, almost every night since you were born. It describes you perfectly! I chose the colors, Orange, Yellow and Teal, then added some gray and realized that the colors went perfectly with the song and everything kind of evolved. 

There were lots of colorful dinos at the party...not theme related just fun!

Dinos protecting the cupcakes until it was dessert time!

The Dinosaurs have found homes all around our home, I love the pop of color, touch of boy they bring to our home!

Happy 1st Birthday Sweet Jackson

We Love You

I love this chalkboard banner! 

Opening gifts. You weren't quite sure about it. You kept making sure we wanted you to rip the paper!

A fun Peek-a-boo card, made you smile!

Ripped some off!

Getting the hang of it

Saying Thank you for all of your gifts!

"ooo"

Going after a ball, look at that face!

so serious, such pretty eyes!

We didn't light the candle or make you try to blow it out but we sang to you!

Then you stuffed your face with cake!

I can't believe you actually liked it, maybe you just had to warm up to it. It's the first artificially sweet thing you have ever had. 

second cupcake and full of concentration!

cute little cake smasher!
